Pete Ungaro
LOS ALTOS, Calif., June 6, 2024 — Simr, previously referred to as UberCloud, which supplies a platform for utilizing compute sources with simulation instruments, immediately introduced the appointment of Peter Ungaro, former President and CEO of Cray Inc. and senior government at HPE, to its board of administrators.
Ungaro joins Ali Kutay, chairman and CEO at Striim, Salil Deshpande, associate at Uncorrelated Ventures, Baris Guzel, associate at BMW i Ventures, and Roland Manger, co-founder and associate at Earlybird Enterprise Capital, on the Simr board of administrators.
“I’m excited concerning the alternative to affix Simr’s board of administrators to assist information the corporate at this pivotal time in its, and the simulation market’s, development,” stated Ungaro. “Simr is bringing a excessive degree of innovation to the area with the introduction of SimOps, and we share a imaginative and prescient and a ardour for the useful modifications that it introduces for all producers.”
Simr provides engineers a single platform for utilizing any compute sources with any main simulation device, and is revolutionizing how engineers design, confirm, and take a look at merchandise by automating refined simulations within the cloud. It does so whereas eliminating the necessity to specify, procure, implement, and handle complicated Excessive-Efficiency Computing (HPC) environments. The platform permits the implementation of Simulation Operations Automation (SimOps) greatest practices utilized by nearly all of the design engineers at three of the Magnificent Seven firms out there to design engineers in every single place. Simr is carefully partnered with main simulation platform suppliers, together with Ansys, Siemens, and Dassault Systèmes.
Ungaro beforehand served as president and CEO at Cray, Inc., the place he fashioned shut partnerships with tech giants together with AMD, Intel, Microsoft and NVIDIA. He led growth for a number of groundbreaking applied sciences, together with the Cray XC sequence supercomputers, the Cray Urika-GX analytics platform, and YARC Information, which helped to determine the corporate as an innovation chief within the HPC area and positioned Cray as a frontrunner within the “Huge Information” market.
